Tony, The only way to have two services use/listen on the same port is to use two different IP addresses, one for each. Then each can listen on port 80. A possible, very high effort, alternative would be to write a program that would sit in front of both apache and tomcat, that could examine the incoming packets and determine to route it to apache or tomcat based on the packet content. I'm talking a very complicated program here. Apache proxying requests through to tomcat is not that expensive overhead wise. That would really be your best solution. Look at the proxy_ajp module in apache 2.2 Dan Please respond to users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: Tomcat Users Group <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Apache Mailing List <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (bcc: Dan Mitton/YD/RWDOE) Subject: Tomcat and Apache on the same port? LSN: Not Relevant User Filed as: Not a Record Hi All, Is it possible to run Tomcat and Apache on the same port? What I want to do is have my website running on Apache web server or port 80 and also have Tomcat running on port 80. That way my web service requests do not need to go through Apache web server where they are redirected to Tomcat. I am trying to avoid web service requests going to a different port on the client side and getting stopped by a proxy but perhaps that does not stop http requests going another site on port say 81?
